Overview
Copying, scanning and faxing share a body with a monochrome laser printer in this Brother multifunction unit. It prints on both sides automatically, connects to a network over Fast Ethernet and takes a long list of paper and envelope sizes.
Wide media support makes it flexible for letters, labels and envelopes in one unit, and the included toner and drum are listed with their page yields. The title says wireless and wired, but the connectivity field lists Ethernet alone.
Who it's for
A home office or small team that wants fax and double-sided printing alongside everyday copying. People who need color, or who must have a confirmed wireless connection, should check the details first.
Pros and cons
- Fax and copy included
- Automatic double-sided printing
- Many paper and envelope sizes
- Toner and drum yields listed
- Black and white output only
- Wireless not confirmed in specs
- Control is by push button
Performance notes
The laser engine fuses toner onto the page, and the drum unit carries the image, so toner and drum yields set the upkeep rhythm. Duplex printing flips each sheet for the second side. Resolution on the scan side is stated in optical dpi, which governs fine detail in scanned text.
